Greek Flank Steak Stifado is a traditional Greek recipe that has been enjoyed for generations as a hearty and flavorful meal. It is typically made with slow-cooked beef or pork, onions, garlic, and a blend of Mediterranean spices to create a flavorful and satisfying dish. This version of Stifado uses flank steak, which is leaner and cooks faster than other cuts of meat, while still being tender and delicious. The addition of feta cheese and parsley on top adds a fresh and salty contrast to the rich and savory meat dish.

9.Return the flank steaks to the pan and cover with the onion mixture.
10.Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the preheated oven.
11.Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
